Title: Linux.
Post by: TeamXtreemer on December 15, 2011, 10:40:14 AM: I am thinking of getting Linux for my computer, I've heard it uses much les ram, does anyone know how I can get it without a disk? Or if you can use USB SDs or something else, what Linux should I use?

Thanks.

Or you could always try and find DSL (Damn Small Linux) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damn_small_linux)
